## Abstract

A composition including water, about 0.1% to about 0.4% of a 4-substituted resorcinol, an ester having at least about 25 carbon atoms, and a polymeric emulsifier is provided. The composition comprises less than about 5% by weight of oils and is substantially free of monomeric emulsifier. Methods of treating the skin are also provided.
